I have to say, as an occasional clubber, I'm very impressed by these, and I would not be surprised and would be even more impressed , if I heard Ferry mashing up a dance floor somewhere this weekend. especially with Heartache by Numbers and Shameless. You can dance, sure you can.

The alternate mix cd is very impressive though heartache by numbers is again the let down.I'm sure that Ferry's vocals on the you can dance remix are slightly speeded up, making him sound like his younger self and it is a cracker of a track though probably too retro for many tastes.

Sorry for being dull - what alternative CD mix?

I think the previous posts refer to the Deluxe/Book version of Olympia which contains CD, DVD and a CD of remixes.

As I thought - I did ask a dull question. Nothing new there then.!

The remixes are a hint of what a less complex mix/production job could have delivered. I prefer it.

What I do find annoying is that having shelled out for the 3 disc version, the Japanese release has another remix of shameless on it.Anyone know how to get hold of the Leo Zero mix of alphaville and the mix of shameless which appears on Mr. Ferry's youtube channel?

Is that the Shamless(Ultra Delux Mix)? If you are able to download the video from youtube to realplayer you can convert to an audio file of your choice. PM me if you can't and I will help.

Love the John Monkman remix of You Can Dance. Can anyone let me know whether the You Can Dance single was just released as a download as I can't seem to track down a CD single of it? And is that the case with the new single as well?

You can dance was a download only single (8 tracks on amazon) but a promo cd version (with either 6 or 7 tracks) can be got on ebay.Heartache by numbers according to the piece on the back of the promo cd I bought of eBay says that is download only.
